You seem to have dodged the questions at the top of this page.
Just go to the top of the page and read the reply. You completely ignored it....
So if you have missed it let me say again that a transwoman is a biological male and should have never been in a female competition. Do you agree or disagree?
Do you agree a transwoman is a male?

Ive read a lot of arguements saying that transgenderism is body dysmorphia or a similiar mental illness. However, i don't think we have enough knowledge to make concrete conclusions. It was only 20 years ago or so that many people thought homosexuality was a mental illness that could be cured. We have found out differn't since then.
Point being; wether or not transgenderism can be considered a mental disorder - what matter is if it can be reversed with therapy. If it cannot, then how does calling trans people "mentally ill" help them?
While I understand wanting to limit minors from life changing surgery or hormone treatment; I think its cruel to just blanket label all trans as mentally ill people. I think we should respect them, even if you don't want to use pronouns or consider them "women". But I think just showing a level of respect and understanding is better than just calling them all mentally ill.

Course a trans woman is a biological male! Hence the reason I do not agree with a trans woman competing in womens sport.

Just google trans and body dysmorphia, and prove me wrong.
I already did! Body dysmorphia is comely different to a trans person going through the change, because once they go through the change, that is it. Body dysmorphia is people who worry about their appearance constantly. Co pletlry different to a trans person because its not about that obviously.
Like I said, which you ignored amongst other things you have ignored, once they go through the change, that is it!

Seems like on this site, people are becoming more and more e treme in their views on trans people! And guess what! I find that offensive and harmful too!
But we have seen this sll before with gzy people before it was excepted! Yoh except gay people right? You are not that extreme are you?
Are people becoming more extreme or are they just pushing back on extremism? It's a chicken or egg scenario here, so what came first?
As I said before.... gay or straight is behavior-based, so society decides what behaviors are OK all the time. Trans is an alternate reality-based concept that biology has nothing to do with gender and it is only in the mind. Two very different things that people want to put in the same bucket just because the letters are both in LGBTQIA+.
As long as people are not hurting smyone, what exactly is the problem here? On this site I see people throwing around mental illness. Was not that long ago thst being gay was also classed as a mental illness!
It's just crazing that people are putting all their effort into this instead of say, child abusers, rapists etc How know, those people that actually want to hurt you and your children!
You should be able to live your life the way you want to live it! As long as you are not hurting anyone, why dhould anyone care!
Would they do the same with a normal person suffering from mental illness? And if they did, would you say that was wrong?

What does a biological male want in a female beauty competition then?
women have labored for centuries to be distinguished and celebrated. now a man in a dress and lipstick knocks them back down to second, third, last place. they are robbed of dignity, robbed of their status. today its your neighbor, tomorrow your daughter. these are gradients of injury and increments that add up like a boiling pot that self identifies as a sauna for frogs, what happens if you wait until the pervert is in your locker room before you object, complacency is just suicide in slow motion and thats what comes next if people continue to minimize

You're wrong.
Like anorexia, they are never happy with the changes, because it is a mental illness.
Again, how do you know that? Are you psychic and know how all the trans people think and feel?
How do you know this?

Because they are living their life as a woman, and a beauty contest test has no advantage for a trans woman! Hence the reason I do not care!

While I understand wanting to limit minors from life changing surgery or hormone treatment and preventing trans women from playing in women's sports; I think its cruel to just blanket label all trans as mentally ill people. I think we should respect them, even if you don't want to use pronouns or consider them "women". But I think just showing a level of respect and understanding is better than just calling them all mentally ill.
I say this after a family friend came out as transgender. After many years of being a man, she is now a trans woman. It takes a lot to make such a huge change and i believe there are many factors at play to understanding this phenomenon.
Gender IS a mental illness, whether people want to accept it or not. Thinking you're a girl when you were born male is no different than thinking your fat when you are suffering from anorexia.
Dysphoria: A state of feeling very unhappy, uneasy, or dissatisfied.
Every day more and more evidence is coming forth that whacking off body parts does nothing to ease the angst they feel; quite the opposite, it compounds their mental health issues once the novelty of their new body has worn off and they realize nothing has changed the unhappiness that is rooted in their brain.

So trans people are all perverts now! This just keeps getting better and better! lololol
People are free to think anything they like, but in reality, there is no way on this earth that a man can become a woman or vice versa. They can pretend, they can dress up, they can even lop off their protruding parts. But in the end, they will always be what they were when they were born. If you factor that reality in, it sure starts to look like a mental illness.
